What is Fifa Pro Clubs?Pro Clubs is an online mode in Fifa that allows you to create a Virtual Pro Player and play your position on the pitch with teammates in a true representation of online football. Your Virtual Pro will grow in attributes based on your match rating and also earn skill points to spend on traits with the more matches you play. Play drop in matches join/create a club and fight for points with your club. Climb your way up from Division 10 to the heights of football – Division 1.

What is Virtual Pro Gaming?VPG is home to thousands of teams and over a hundred thousand eager Pro Clubs gamers who breathe, live and player Virtual Football. Our players sign in every day and compete for the coveted VPG trophies and individual player awards in highly-organised teams who train frequently for online matches. This fosters lively rivalries that echo their real-life counterparts.

One of the unique benefits of joining VPG is that our league involves 11v11 matches on Fifa Pro Clubs. This is far more favourable than standard 1v1 Fifa Leagues because significantly more players are involved in each match. Your players would share their participation with their friends, which in turn boosts your social network massively and most importantly increases fan engagement.

Global eSports revenue is forecast to reach over £680 million in 2018, and with the global audience to increase to 380.2 million. Featuring a team in VPG will give you a head start in tapping into this market. You will also increase your fan interaction and that will provide you a unique opportunity to marker your club to a growing global eSport audience. It will also enable you to create a new stream of fresh and original content for your social channels such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

They both manage La Masia eSports & VPG Wales and will manage WGN Pro Clubs, as Welsh Gaming Network take their first steps into competitive Fifa.

Andrew & Dan have built an incredibly strong squad over the past 2 seasons that has brought them great success. The squad consisting of numerous nationalities – Welsh, English, Irish, Scottish, Danish, French, Dutch and Mexican. Combined the squad has earned a total of 47 titles throughout this edition of Fifa and with one season remaining, aim to take that tally to 49 with the addition of the League Title and the Cup.

Andrew & Dan have been a part of the Wales setup for the past 3 international tournaments, VPG World Cup 2017, ITFA European Cup and VPG World Cup 2018.
VPG World Cup 2017 – Wales reach the final, only to fall short with a narrow 2-1 loss in the final to the USA – This placed Wales in the limelight for international competitive Fifa as Wales did what no one expected them to do.
ITFA European Cup – Although not as successful as the VPG World Cup 2017, Wales fell to the hands of Denmark in the Round of 16, who are widely regarded as the best Fifa Pro Clubs team in the world.
VPG World Cup 2018 – Currently still ongoing, Wales successfully topped their group unbeaten with 12 points. Now in the Round of 16, Wales once again face Denmark.
Will Wales be able to get back on top and push past the Great Danes?

Andrew & Dan aim to build WGN Pro Club to compete alongside the best Fifa Pro Clubs teams around.
With their love for tactical play, possession based play style and proven success, they are more than cut out for the job.
